Bobby Livingston Signs a 1-Year Deal

SARASOTA, Fla. (AP) -Left-handed pitcher Bobby Livingston agreed to a one-year contract with the Cincinnati Reds.
Livingston, who had surgery in September to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder, remains on the disabled list. He started 10 games for the Reds last season, going 3-3 with a 5.27 ERA.

The Reds also said Sunday they signed Juan Duran, a 16-year old outfielder from the Dominican Republic.

It's a bargain in this market.

"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."

Livingston did something at the plate last year that guys like Griffey, Dunn, Phillips, Conine, Ross, Valentin and Votto did not do. He had 4 hits in a game. I am sure many remember that July 16 game at Atlanta when he went 4-for-4 at the plate, had his 1st ML hit, his 1st ML RBI and his 1st ML win. I think we were all Bobby Livingston fans that day.

"My mission is to be the ray of hope, the guy who stands out there on that beautiful field and owns up to his mistakes and lets people know it's never completely hopeless, no matter how bad it seems at the time. I have a platform and a message, and now I go to bed at night, sober and happy, praying I can be a good messenger." -Josh Hamilton

I doubt he pitches this year. If he does,he'll be hard pressed to crack the Louisville rotation.

When they claimed him, I thought Livingston's window of opportunity was this year. The reds pushed him up last season, probably correctly, and considering what he is, he did well.

I don't know what to make of his post injury chances. It's not like he was relying on smoke to get anybody out and it shouldn't have hurt his location any.

"Even a bad day at the ballpark beats the snot out of most other good days. I'll take my scorecard and pencil and beer and hot dog and rage at the dips and cheer at the highs, but I'm not ever going to stop loving this game and this team and nobody will ever take that away from me."
